Annual Chapter Summit
If you attended the 2011 USGBC Montana Annual Summit & Green Building Conference, you can report your participation for LEED Credential Maintenance. To report CMP activity, log in to My Credentials at www.gbci.org.
Here are the suggested subcategories for each presentation (each is worth one credential maintenance point):
- Rural Studio Presentation: Project Site Factors
- Wind, Solar & Renewable Energy, An Energy Company's Perspective: Project Systems and Energy Impacts
- Carbon Offsetting Presentation: Project Systems and Energy Impacts
- DEQ Energy Code Updates: Stakeholder Involvement in Innovation
- Project Case Study, Old Faithful Visitor Education Center: Project Surroundings and Public Outreach
- Living Building Challenge: Improvements to the Indoor Environment (since so much of the presentation covered that topic)
AIA/CES course summaries (Word Document) - these summaries can be used for LEED CMP self reporting activity description and activity details.
All conference activities* should be categorized under the “live presentations” activity delivery method. Live presentations carry a cap of 5 units, though attendees may submit more but be prepared if GBCI does not accept all of them. According to the newest CMP 2011 guide (PDF), presenters can count twice the CEU's of the presentation. This is also a "live presentation" activity, but presenters get twice the credit per hour of course as attendees.
*Volunteer work for the conference on can be reported as Stakeholder Involvement in Innovation.
